Caulk remover may be worth a try.

My dad just removed and replaced all the caulk in his shower a couple weeks ago. I'm pretty sure that's what he used.

edited because my typing has apparently gone all to hell

Now, this is electronic communication at its finest. Two politicians who wouldn't make that stupid bandwidth speech.

Work is blocking many sites with movies. So I have three emails in my inbox sitting there, grinning at me, unusable until I get home.

Which I'd love to do soon. It's a tomb here.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday sj!

Happy Anniversary Beverly and DH!

Well, we've had an interesting day so far.(Interesting in the proverbial sense) Our flight was 8:55 this morning. Our hotel was about 50 minutes away, and we had a rental car. I set the alarm clock for 6, figuring that would give us enough time for quick showers before we checked out. I was woken up by G, who had just woken up himself. It was 7:30.The alarm never went off.

We hurriedly dressed, packed up, checked out and hit the road. Just before the airport we stopped to fill the car's tank and I grabbed some muffins and juice from the convenience store. We return the car(luckily, the rental place was at the terminal), ran to security(it was 8:40 at that point) and started to go through. I went through with no problems, but G got stopped and both he and his roller bag were searched. At this point I hear an announcement for our flight, looking for us(mangling our names in the process). They finish with G and we head to the gate. We were on Southwest and had already printed out our boarding passes. We were in group A, but obviously, that was a moot point by then. We stowed our bags and got seats.(I was one row back from G, but right behind him)

The flight was uneventful, other than me spilling apple juice all over my pants. We got home to find that the power was out. We both needed showers so we showered in the dark, more-or-less. We went out to do some errands, and the power was back on when we got back.

Corn muffin:

The wedding itself was very nice. There were a lot of women in strapless dresses, not all of whom should have been wearing them. Ah, well, in the crowd that was attending I guess it's more important how much you spent on the dress than whether it fits.

Do I need to do anything useful today?

I have a cheesecake crust question for the hivemind. I'm making a cheesecake in a couple of weeks for a group of folks. One of the folks in said group is deathly allergic to nuts. I've always made the crust for the cheesecake with nuts as the main ingredient. Does anyone have suggestions for a different way to make the crust, please?

Mine are graham cracker crumbs and butter and a bit of sugar.

Smoosh the hell out of a couple sleeves of Ritz crackers & mix it with melted butter, a pinch of brown sugar, and nutmeg until it holds together. Teh Yum.

That's quite an adventure, Sheryl. Gla dthe power came back on.

I don't see why, Lee.

I've always made cheesecake crusts (when I've made crusts for them) with graham cracker crumbs. I believe you can also use GrapeNuts (which I think is nut free, but I could be wrong about that).

From ichef:

1 1/2 c Graham Cracker Crumbs
1/3 c Sugar
1/3 c Melted Butter

Instructions

1. Mix ingredients and press into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes; cool and fill.

I'm interested in the nut recipe now.
